"Hello, world."
Set in Akihabara in the near future, "Hello, world." is a hearty, feature-length, cyber battle-action/campus-life story about a robot boy and the girls that surround him.
Tremendous progress has been made in technical advances. Various networks have taken strongholds with each new generation. Though not nearly advanced as humans, two-legged robots are utilized in many practical areas throughout the world. Amid worldwide peace, the human race remains unchanged.
Kazuki Tomonaga is a robot made by an entity called "HIKARI" for the purpose of "GLOBAL ILLUMINATION". He's created with ingenuity as precise as that of a human being. Kazuki is commanded to research the concepts of "human emotion". Along the way he meets various girls and has exchanges with them. In their "exchanges" his "curiosity" gradually turns into "affection" and his mission becomes more intense. He gradually starts to build his own philosophy, not knowing he will be forced to make crucially important decisions in the near future.

About This Game
Technology has advanced enough that two-legged robots handle practical tasks across most of human society. The world is at peace. Humanity itself has not changed. Into this stable world arrives Kazuki Tomonaga — a robot created by an entity called HIKARI for the purpose of Global Illumination, built with a precision that approaches the complexity of a human being. His assigned mission: research and understand human emotion. Through a series of encounters with different girls, what begins as programmed curiosity starts developing into something that resembles genuine feeling. Kazuki builds his own philosophy along the way — without yet realizing that the decisions ahead of him will matter far beyond anything he was designed for.
